Tests,
exams & quizzes test two things:
1. How much you know about the content of the course.
2. How effective you can write tests (test taking skills).
SCORER
is a strategy that helps you develop your test taking skills.

out the
SCORER One Page Handout and
go through each of the steps as you do your homework or an assignment.
Do this will a number of a assignments and homework to feel more comfortable
with the steps.
Continue
to practice SCORER on assignments and homework to know the steps.
Then use SCORER on quizzes and tests. Try to use each step to get
the maximum benefit from the strategy.
To
summarize the strategy, draw three columns on a sheet of paper and
title the columns:
1. What steps do I already do on tests?
2. What steps from SCORER will I use on my next test of exam?
3. What steps in SCORER do I not understand and need more help with?
Use
SCORER on assignments and homework for practice and then use it on
tests and exams.
Talk to other students and find out which steps they use and how effective
they are for them.
